Karl - Got your PM - Sorry I've not replied yet! Been so busy trying to organise things at the moment... ! Will get back to you ASAP.



Went down to see Frankie on Saturday and worked out everything we needed to put Frankie back together.

...We've got 2 A4 pages full...


Luckily though - Kris has a fair amount of the parts already, that he has collected!

Once I can actually make my mind up about what the interior of Frankie will look like, the build up shouldn't take too long!

[Bean]

Just threw an old bumper onto the front and one of Reggie's wheels...




Wadda we think?

[Jackman]

That bumper could do with a polish


Looks great tho!

He needs his bonnet and some eyes!

[Bean]

The bonnet hasn't been fitted since painted - It's sitting in the back of the van at the moment... I'm not going to fit it until the end because I don't want to scratch it!

We have some eyes for him, I think - Unfortunately though, they're up north.... along with alot of the parts for him!

Thats a wise idea, you'd struggle as well getting the engine in and working on it! Weve taken Lils bonnet off to get the engine out, dont think it would have come out with it on!

I love the colour of him :wub Very good choice indeed!

[Bean]

Hehe - thank you! It does look alot better in 'person' though!

I really want to crack-on with getting him back together! I have some people to talk to and some, err, begging to do first!

[tedmcedd]

i have some old 70's corbeaus i used to have in the bean if your interested?

looking great, will look even better once he's back together!

what engine is going in him?

[Bean]

Still not decided on that either, Ed!

I do have 2 options and I'm pretty much decided, I think - But that's where the begging comes into it!

I don't want to say anything at this stage though - It's still an idea in our heads!


What do the corbeaus look like? I looked through your thread, but couldn't find any piccys?

[Bean]

Got some goodies through the post, today!

[gibba]

Cany wait to see the finished article! those dials look imaculate!!

Best of luck

[Jackman]

WOW they arrived quick and look amazing...

Quick question... how do you reset the trip meter on the gauge?

[Bean]

There's a cable that comes with it - You just mount it into the dash along side it and twist! Resets the whole thing!

Just need to talk to 'SpeedyCables' and get something made up!


Thanks, Gibba!

[Jackman]

Everything as in the trip and the main reading or jus the trip?

They do look amazing tho, are they new ones?

[Bean]

Nup, just the trip


They're not new, but they've been completely rebuilt inside and out With all new seals etc!
